Shopping with the stars at Baby Company Megamall's grand store inauguration (Part 2)

Can't get enough of the newest Baby Company store, which recently opened in SM Megamall! It's a 600 square meter store with a modern style but with the same if not better shopper-friendly attributes.  They put their awesome Merchandise on the spotlight thru artistic application of colours, lighting and systematic merchandise grid. Welcome to the newest and most exciting Baby Company store!

I absolutely love Baby Company! And I also love these three beautiful ladies from Baby Company, posing with one of our glowing superstar mommies for the day, Ms. Iya Villania. From left to right are Mrs. Tess Ponce, SVP for Operations, Ms. Lani head of Merchandising and of course, Ms. Cheryl Justiniano, head of Marketing who I owe so much to as she was the one who found me and got me to host their Baby Company Grand Baby Fair a few years ago... forever thankful for this company of intelligent and kind-hearted women! 

Here's more of this memorable BABY-TASTIC event of Baby Company, in celebration of their Megamall store inauguration. This time, let's zoom in on the superstar mommies who came, shopped and conquered! First up, the ever-beautiful and down-to-earth Patty Laurel-Filart! I've met her for like the fifth time now whenever I host events for she's a suki celeb guest and speaker and she deserves it; always ready to spare kind and delightful words each time I meet her. From her smile alone, you can already see how much fun she had during this grand milestone for Baby Company, the Baby Specialist... 

Checking out Patty Laurel's shopping cart; only the best finds for her adorable son Theo... Baby Company is definitely the place to be... for all you loving mommies, daddies and parents-to-be! 

In good (and good-looking) Company. Another mom I look up to, the beautiful and bedazzling Ms. Joy Sotto, and her four handsome boys. From left to right are Sandro who's an amazing dancer, Rosanno the youngest among the boys, Igu (the one I personally find the most good looking) and the kuya of the bunch, Hugo. And I know their names by heart for I follow her on Instagram. Congratulations too for having a beautiful princess. Yes, this lovely Baby Company Mombassador is actually a mom of 5 as she had given birth to her much-prayed for daughter not too long ago. It's the perfect time to shop in Baby Company! 

This time, I got to interview Mommy Joy Sotto with her eldest, where they shared their top picks for the two younger boys and of course, for their beautiful little princess! 

Plus more lovely stellar mommies spotted! I got to interview the host of Chika Minute, a primetime showbiz news segment on GMA 7's 24 Oras, Ms. Iya Villania... isn't she a lovely preggy woman? Thanks to Baby Company, all mommies too can look as pretty as Iya, thanks to the convenience they alone can give to moms and moms-to-be!

Let's not miss the lovely Kelly Misa who was excited to pick out wonderful items for her son which she can find only here at the Baby Specialist... Baby Company! 

 Kelly also dishes out tips and tricks when it comes to shopping for our biggest joys: our little ones... 

Last but most certainly not the least, I got to chat with one of the young ladies I admire most - Ms. Shamcey Supsup, an international beauty queen, now also a restauranteur and proud mom to her beautiful little baby girl, Nike! Check out my video too where I got this beauty to walk the shopping runway at Baby Company's grand aisles. Every mom's a beauty queen, with Baby Company!

Indeed, there is no other baby specialist when it comes to infant feeding, caring, playing, sleeping, learning and more! Make sure that you also shop smart like our superstar moms above and have your MOM CARDS with you! This is Baby Company's loyalty program. It is meant to reward frequent shoppers through rebates, exclusive offers, special events and other privileges. The more you shop, the more rebates you earn.

Empowered and honoured to emcee for the Adobe Digital Document Management executive event!

Again I am honored & humbled at the same time to be part of such an edifying executive talk: the Adobe Digital Document Management event, ushered in by Get Cre8ive, principal for Getty Images and a renowned Adobe Platinum Reseller in the Philippines, as we zoom in on the Adobe Creative Cloud. But first, please watch my clip hosting this event: 

It was a beautifully intimate gathering for only the most brilliant minds from various creative, communications and tech industries.

I got to paint the town red (and wear red) as we all sat through a delightfully entertaining talk on Adobe Document Management Cloud and Adobe Creative Cloud products, learning more about these amazing products as well as learning product tips and the latest trends... 

Don't mind the face. Or to overly red lipstick. I learned so much and had a ton of fun during this empowering event. 

A big shout out to the awesome Get Cre8ive team especially Ms. Sarah Lumang and Ms. Bel Roxas who were super easy to work with. And of course to my friend Paolo Dela Rea of Straight Arrow, thank you for this, more blessings for you three and your companies! 

It was held in no less than the Willow Root in Manila Polo Club, the perfect venue to discuss a premium, cutting-edge creative solution! Adobe is such a brilliant solution and excuse my ignorance but I don't know of any other company that can provide what they bring.  

Pre-program prepping with Adobe's esteemed representative below: 

And let's not forget the inspiring, down-to-earth and simply talented minds behind Get Cre8ive! Thanks again Ms. Sara and Ms Bel for trusting to host your awe-inspiring event: 

Inspiring Innovation and learning from the best: Below I pose alongside Get Cre8ive's Ms. Annabel Roxas and our speaker, Mr. Rajesh Pratil,  Adobe's senior solution consultant.  

I've been using Adobe and thanks to Getcre8ive, I've developed a much greater appreciation and deeper understanding of this solution which I actually have in my MacBook Pro which I never got to fully utilise! But soon I have to make the most out of these excellent solutions...  

And now please indulge me as I share the non-event related shots that evening... eI managed to sneak in a few poses in the Manila Polo Club that night before heading home... I can't help it, Manila Polo Club is among the most inspiring spots in the metro! 

Photos courtesy of my sister and forever BFF, my younger sister Nate. Please visit her blog www.takeitfromnate.wordpress.com for she writes well and hosts too! I'd like to think that she is better than me in what I do, for she takes awesome photos too, with a really keen sense for beauty. That's my blogging-hosting-photographing little sister! 

Bright lights... hidden from the hustle and bustle of this big city... simply love the crisp, fresh air that moves me... this huge field inspires me... always thankful for every diverse experience each time I emcee an event! 

From where I stood in Manila Polo Club the afternoon before the event were sculptures... skyscrapers nestled in Bonifacio Global City... where I work during the day; and eventually live here too, I pray! 

Thanks for visiting; remember to always be the AdoBEST that you can be!

Hosting the most colortastic event of the year: Sky Life Color Explosion 2016!

Color me crazy. Until now I am crazy thankful about the awesome chance of hosting the much-awaited Sky Life Color Explosion, now on its second year! But first, my usual super hyper opening spiels up on my Youtube channel, where clients can usually refer to for bookings and to actually reference my past works and see me in action: 

And my other video below, doing pre-event spiels and voice-overs: 

The most Color-rific event ever. Yes, this was 2016 most vibrant event ever and the Sky Life Color Explosion is now on Year 2, bigger and more successful this year too! I would say over a thousand guest were in attendance, all of them coming to color their lives with the fun, games and awesome learning experiences during this color-tastic event! 

Sky's the limit. So thankful for the truly phenomenal events that Sky Life / Sky Cable assigns me. I totally loved the whole Parisienne street artist get up, with red shoes for a pop of color! I loved dressing up for this event as much as I loved every bit hosting for it! 

Had a chat with our artsy pals too who led the workshops for the moms! Yes this wasn't just a treat for the kids, but also for the rest of the family members especially the lovely moms!

It's like swimming in a sea of color... 

 Check out the snaps above about the amazing number of people who took a splash in the wide ocean of color... below, we award the brilliant young artists who participated in and excelled in the art contest... 

Do you spot the artist who is most special to me? The one who brings so much color and joy to my life... So much to share about this one, but let me save that for another post. And here he is below, offering me his favorite refreshing drink, yummy Ice Blended from The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf! 

With Jasper Tiongson from Disney who is also an awesome events host! 

 Don't you just love his balloon hat! The performers who did this were amazing. Such a shame that I wasn't able to take a video of them dancing, performing while making really awesome twisted balloon creations! Hats off to the amazing guys of TECTONIX, the dancing balloon show! 

My life is full of colour, and I am forever thankful! I would say that I wear royal purple for my day job, as a corporate manager, blaring bright pink for my hosting gigs, warm green as a mom (for that's my son's favourite colour, and the colour of my alma mater, De La Salle University). How about you, what colours do you fill your life with?

A wedding, a debut and a hip hop party!

So many hosting jobs have whizzed past; am still trying to find time to extract, edit and compose those posts; for now, let me just share about my latest three events: a mishmash of the most colourful experiences, where I offer endless thanks to God for the chance to be able to do something that I love, growing in more ways than one at the same time. I am so thankful that this festive season was also restful for me; to ponder on what truly matter in my life. I am able to set some of the things I have finally been longing to do, so let me just post three of my most recent gigs up in one release. 

Aren't sunsets divinely breathtaking? Here are a few of my photos of 2015 entries.

Let me first begin with this wedding I was truly honoured to host; this truly set the tone for the rest of my year... reminding me to relax and enjoy the moment. Most of my life I have been a road runner (at times even on a rampage), that I take what's essential for granted. My aimless speed, instead of truly taking me to where I ought to be, sometimes ends up in making the road far longer than it was supposed to be, had I chosen to take a step back and revel in the beauty of the moment. So below is my snap of the pre-wedding reception, with God's majestic sky as the backdrop... 

I was more than delighted to emcee for this breathtaking wedding, which wasn't tiresome for me at all. In fact, its majestic backdrop, a reminder of the Creator's love and magnificent providence, made me forget any pressures of keeping up with over a hundred guests. Not only that; I emceed this mesmerising event; the unforgettably magical Nacino-Arboleda nuptials, barefoot and toes digging in the sand!

Excuse the extremely rare (in fact this is my first time) bathroom selfie... I just well... felt like a mermaid in my gown. The crazy mind of an event host, when finding herself where she belongs... by the calming, alluring, enigmatic sea! 

My stealth shot of Mrs. Arboleda as she made her way towards the awe-inspiring cliffside where she exchanged vows with her husband. Isn't she a vision? Gorgeous at every angle! But what's most beautiful about her is what's within...

And of course, with the beautiful couple... Best Wishes, Alvaro and Bem! Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Nacino! I love the love you have for each other! Keep inspiring those around you with Your faith in God, your commitment, and your childlike admiration for each other! Thanks for your faith in me... I am excited for your journey as man and wife.

From memorable weddings, I also had the honour of taking part in such an enjoyable debut! Thank you, Angela and to your Mommy Milba Rutaquio for making me part of your very special night! Here I am below, squeezing beside the debutante... and yes, you can sit with us! Only, there isn't space anymore... LOL. I had a blast; felt as though I was 18 again... This was the 18 debut party I never got to experience back when I turned 18. You are such a beautiful lady, A!

From the long gowns, I step into totally different gear: hip hop, reminiscent of what you see on those Step Up flicks I can't stop watching! Had a blast emceeing for the EDL Group of Companies during their superb Christmas party! I was blown away with Hip-Hoppiness that night! Mary from the Block with my partner, Jay Z, Jay Monterola from TV show, Tukaan. Do I look badass enough?

I give thanks for such a phenomenal year 2015. What I would say is the year of emancipation, conservation of resources, and the year of aligning in gratitude, and Grace... Thank You Lord, and am I looking forward to a greater 2016!

Having a Ball at Boo York with my Monster High crew!

It is an absolute dream to finally fly to New York City, which I consider a step to fulfil a lifelong dream.

Below, meet me and my Monster Crew... don't we make you wanna be a Monster too? 

As usual, I came dressed in my favourite blue-and-gold glammy mummy inspired get-up and just had so much fun! This probably is the biggest Monster High event we've had, for more than just the much-awaited Meet & Greet and spook-tacular, it also featured a fang-fastic fashion show as well as a boo-sical performances and dance showdowns! The place was absolutely packed with ghouls and monster high fans! 

 BOO Yeah!!! I am at it again, doing what I looooooooove to do! 

But apart from the fun games, here are my backstage photos with some of our costume parade winners! Their ghoul-tastic outfits are from the Fashion Capital of the Monster world indeed, Boo York! Don't forget my own design too, hope you like my regal Glammy Mummy Queen of the Nile look!  Move over Cleopatra! Yup, Boo York will do for now until I finally find myself in New York! 

 Most of all, thanks so much to my Richprime Family... Always fang-tastic to work with you and getting an excuse to be all Ghouled Up! Here I am below with Ms. Ivy Mauhay, Marketing head and Ms. Josie Atayde:
